Industrial Electronic Temperature Controller Market Shift to Asia-Pacific Continues

工業電子溫度控制器市場繼續向亞太地區轉移

Natick, Massachusetts - June 2, 2006 - A market study by Venture Development Corporation finds that the Asia-Pacific industrial electronic temperature controller market is not only the largest of the major regions, but is also the fastest growing. Current and forecast shipments of industrial electronic temperature controllers to markets in geographic regions (dollars in millions) are:

麻省Natick市6月2日消息——一份由風險發展公司（VDC）發布的市場研究表明亞太地區的工業電子溫度控制器市場不但是各大地區中最大的，而且是發展最快的。工業電子溫度控制器各大區域市場的當前和預期出貨額（百萬美元）如下：

Growth in the worldwide market for industrial electronic controllers has been slowing in recent years as the implementation of temperature control loops are being instead incorporated into distributed control systems (DCSs), personal computers (PCs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). VDC found the worldwide market of industrial electronic temperature controllers grew 3.6% in 2003, 3.5% in 2004, and 2.5% in 2005. We project the worldwide market will grow only 1.2% in 2006, and forecast the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2010 will be only 0.7%.

全球工業電子控制器市場近些年來增長緩慢，因為溫度控制器環節已經被納入為分布式控制系統（DCS），個人電腦（PC）和可編程邏輯控制器（PLC）。VDC發現工業電子溫度控制器全球市場的增長率在2003年為3.6%， 2004年為3.5%，2005年為2.5 % 。我們預計2006年全球市場的增長率僅為1.2% ，而預測2010年的綜合年度增長率（CAGR）僅為0.7% 。

The European and North American markets have been and are expected to be the most severely impacted by this trend. Both these large regional markets are expected to decline through 2010. However, growth is still forecast for the Asia-Pacific market, and also the much smaller markets in Latin America and Rest of the World.

歐洲和北美市場受到這一趨勢的影響最大。這兩個較大地區的市場預計將在2010年出現負增長。然而，亞太市場，較小的拉丁美洲和其他地區的市場預計仍將保持增長。

The emergence of China as a major manufacturing center and market will be a driving factor behind this growth. OEMs as well as many end-user industries are beginning to relocate to mainland China to take advantage of low-cost labor and materials. The recovery of Japan's economy also is pushing the region out of a stagnant period of growth. The shifting of manufacturing operations by OEMs and companies in major end-user industries to China, along with declining prices for temperature controllers, are the primary reasons for the declining European and North American market forecasts. Both of these markets are very mature, so that there is little room for growth of new industries or firms to offset the exiting OEMs and other manufacturers.

中國作為一個主要的制造中心和市場的崛起是這一增長的驅動因素。OEM廠商以及眾多的終端工業廠商已經開始轉移到中國大陸，以獲得低成本的勞動力和原料優勢。日本經濟的復蘇同樣推動該地區走出了停滯發展時期。OEM廠家和主要終端工業公司將制造業務向中國的轉移，以及溫度控制器價格的下降，是歐洲和北美市場預測下降的主要原因。這兩個地區的市場都已非常成熟，因此彌補現有OEM和其他生產商的新行業或新公司的發展空間不大。

In addition, many industrial electronic temperature controller suppliers based in Europe and North America have indicated that if they haven't already they will soon be opening their own manufacturing operations in China. By manufacturing in China, suppliers are not only able to gain the competitive advantage of cheaper labor and materials, but they are also moving closer to the major growth markets.

此外，許多位于歐洲和北美的工業電子溫度控制器供應商已經表明一旦準備充分，他們將很快在中國展開他們的制造業務。通過在中國生產，供應商不但可以獲得更便宜的勞動力和原料的競爭優勢，而且他們這樣更接近主要的發展市場。

The small Latin American market is expected to experience the highest rate of growth through 2010 (CAGR of 4.8%) as the region continues to automate during the emergence of many economies in the region. Growth in shipments to the Rest of the World is expected to be slow at a CAGR of 0.9%, due to a slower influx of capital investment.

較小的拉丁美洲市場預計在2010年的增長率最高（CAGR為4.8%），因為該地區很多經濟領域的發展繼續實行自動化操作。受到資本投資流入更慢的影響，其他地區的出貨額預計增長緩慢，綜合年度增長率僅為0.9% 。
